Extra scars

Can revision use the same incision as the first surgery?

At U&U Plastic Surgery,

revision through the same incision as your first surgery is possible.

Experienced in every incision technique, we recommend the method with the highest success rate for each case.

A 70-inch FULL HD endoscope secures the surgical view, reducing risk to surrounding tissue and thoroughly controlling even micro-bleeding during surgery.

After surgery, see your removed capsule in the recovery room!
